Jolina Magdangal is six to seven weeks pregnant with her first baby with husband Mark Escueta. The singer-actress’ father, Jun Magdangal himself confirmed this to Yahoo! Philippines OMG!.

Daddy Jun shared that the 34-year-old’s doctor advised her to go on bed rest due to spotting (bleeding), probably because of her three active TV projects.

The Kapuso star has since gone on leave in “Sunday All-Stars” a week after she was launched as one of the team leads in the new weekly variety show. She also co-hosts GMA News TV program “Personalan” where two warring parties reconcile.

Jolina’s father also related that Jolina has already missed some of the tapings for the primetime series “Mundo Mo’y Akin.” The upcoming baby is Daddy Jun’s third grandchild.

It will be recalled that the Kapuso star married the Rivermaya drummer twice in November 2011—first in a private affair in Tagaytay, and then at Splendido Taal Golf and Country Club three days later.

Just recently, Jolina’s showbiz contemporary Rica Peralejo also confirmed that she’s expected to give birth January next year, right in time for the anniversary of her wedding to Joe Bonifacio.
